How this Plano resident shares her culture through Bharatanatyam 09/07/2023

I am who I am today because of my Parents (Mrs. & Mr. Sankarasubramanian) and my Guru Dr. Uma Anand (a.k.a Uma Dandayuthapani Pillai)

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from a Teacher as dedicated and passionate as you are Uma Akka. Your unwavering support, encouragement, and commitment to teaching have helped me grow as a Dancer and as a person.

Bharatanatyam has helped my student Neha enhance her creativity. She expressed her interest to post a video of her dance and I was pleasantly surprised to find her giving brief introduction on the art. I am glad that the art has given her the confidence to express.

Neha had initially enrolled for a Summer Bharatanatyam program(short course) but her interest and love for the art made her continue learning the art. Her parents encouragement and motivation is greatly appreciated.

Vaishnavi's Bharatanatyam Practice

I am proud of my student Vaishnavi who is very considerate by not being too hard on the floor which may bother her downstairs neighbor when she is practicing her dance. I am glad that the art has taught her humility.

She is very fortunate to have great parents who are art lovers themselves so it goes without saying that she respects the art and people around her.

Jusvitha who is only few months into the art by her effort has ensured that she dances to the talam/beat. I am happy that the art has taught her patience. Her mother's constant support is helping her continue her practice.

Feeling proud of your progress Jusvitha.
